AN ARTIC SURVIVOR,
An Esquimau beg with a History.


 Wolf, the nigh leader of the dog team that drew the sledges in the fam ous Greedy Arctic expedt on, says The San Francisco Chronicle, is now resi- dent of Oakland. having spent the summer there for his health. He may be seen at the home of John W. McNeil. painter, living at No. 819 Lydia street where he is kept at the expense of Gen. Sherman. his owner. Wolf has a history. He is the only dog eyef 5rlsted in the United States navy, and after the close of the expidi- ton Wolf was given his regular papers of honorable discharge from the gov ernment employ Lieut Greedy. in whose possession Wolf fell. presented him to Gen. sherman, who has ever since kept him. The hot esatern sum- mers have been very trying on Wolfs cold blood, and this summer he was sent to California that he might escape the heat He was sent consigned to Geo. H. King, of San Francisco, who had brother-in-law in the expedition. Mir. King placed him in the care of Mir McNeil. Wolf is large animal. with long. gray. silky hair, and possesses superior intelligence.
 A reporter who called to see him yesterday found him the good natured victim of half 8 dozen children who rolled about him. He preserved tho gravest demeanor, and was evidently weighing some very serious matters. Wolf was born in the north some eight years ago. and taught 10 draw sledges across the frozen sea by his Esquimau masters. When Lieut.. Greedy was tit- ting out the expedition he chose Wolf for his superior strength, and the ani- mal's wonderful intelligence. that seetf- ed almost human, won for him the honor and distinction of ''nigh' leader. The of leader was Tiger" whose name also often figures among the in- cidents of the expedition. These were the dogs who led that unfortunate band of explorers northward. often at the rate of l65 miles per day.
 Wolf is the sole survivor of his team. Tiger being the last to yield to starva- tion's demands. The story is told, too, that Wolf. by the laws by which one man lost his life. should have died. but l because he was dog he was permitted to live. After Liut Henry's death Wolf was caught in the act Of steal ng a human arm from the corpse larder of the starving survivors. He was only a dog and they let him live. Wolf will be returned to his eastern home this winter

FL PAso, TEx., October I6.-The Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio mail and express, which left here this evening, was stopped four miles out of the city by three masked men. While two covered the engineer and fireman with their revolyers, the third ran back to the mail-ear and threw bomb against the door. The explosion which followed shattered the door and side Of the car into splinters. The -agent was dazed and badly frightened by the shock. but uninjured. He recovered himself, however, and poured a charge from double -barreled shotgun into the breast Of the robber, who had jumped into the ear, killing him in- stantly. The two on the engine. hear ing the report, fled. The mali agent fired the remaining load after them. The train then returned to Fl Paso and remained until morning

CLAIMING AMERICA TO ENGLAND

Another strong effort viii be made
this winter to convert the United
States into an English province.
OF course, Bayard and Chamber
lain understand very well that the
pill must be heavily gilded in order
that the American people may swal,
low it without making too many wry
faces. The chief business of the ex-
listing administration is to make the
United States political dependen-
cy of Great Britain. 1t is not enough
that we look after and hang our own
dynamiters, but we must also, on
the busy body thankless plan, do the
police duty for England, whose poll
tical offenders are the outgrowth of
her own cruel and rapacious tyran-
ny.
1t is we'll understood that the
"dynamite treaty." if ratified, would
render every man accused of poltl-
cal offence in Great Britain and Ire
land liable to severe punishment as
an alleged "dynamitern British
policemen are trained to swear hard,
and there never would be any lack
OF official proof against men placed
in the dock for offences against the
government system. The English
police would make out case against
any accused Irishman even if they
had to stuff his pockets with dyna-
mite in order to do it! But, of
course, these arguments will avail
nothing with the existing admins
tration. We have no doubt that
Bayard would greatly enjoy seeing
his " treaty. working effectively as
a handy instrument of English hat

try. OF all the administrations that
have ruled America, that of Mr..
Cleveland is the most ro-English
and anti-lrish. And yet, for one
cause or another, great many of
the people he most detests will vote
for him when he is again re-nomina.
ted by the Democratic party, as he is
quite certain to be. Any Itish-Am.

THE TRIBUNE" AND IRISH RE-
PUBLICANS.

The Chicago Tribune is manifest
IL in error when it declares that
" four. fifths to nine-tenths of the
Irish in this country are to be found
in the ranks OF the democratic party.
If that we're the case this city would
ego democratic at every munich
pal election, and Blaine would not
have the slightest show of carrying
the State of New York. The Til
bune ought to recognize the logic of
events and tae march of progress,
and not confound the Irish.Ameri-
cans of to day with those of twenty
five years ago. In the late county
election all the wards classed as
"Irish " in this city gave handsome
Republican pluralities, leaving the
combined Democratic vote largely
behind. The lrish-Americans, re-
pulsed and often insulted by narrow
ex.Republican sheets like the New
York Times and Harper's Weekly
now mugwump, very naturally re-
scented their brutality and kept away
from the party to which they belong
ed, but since the Development of Re.
publican liberality, in which the
Chicago Tribune itself has taken the
lead, a surprising and most crafty.
ing change has come over the spirit
of their political dream. There is a
very solid Irish Republican phalanX
in this country now, and the Chicago
Tribune should not forget it. There
is no seeking to deny the great fact
we have stated. A large body oil
Irishmen have joined the Republi
can party to stay, whether they are
welcome or not. They feel it to be
their duty, as American citizens, to
take sides honestly OH American
questions, and not remain the alleg
ed political property of any single
party in this country. We have nc
doubt that there are certain bigots
in the Republican party, as there
also are in the Democratic party.
who would like to keep the Irish out
but they cannot do it, and if they
don't relish Irish company they can
join the mugwumps. The Irish are
not slaves ofany party, but they will
naturally gravitate to the more liber
al and progressive of the existing
parties, which at present Is the Re
publican, no matter who may be OPP.
posed to them. We would mildly
suggest to the Chicago Tribune that
it's not good policy for loyal Re-
p publican paper to be throwing cold
water editorially on allies valuable
to the party with which it is affilia-
ted.-FInerty's Chicago Citizen.
